Hiring a food truck in Glyndebourne
Glyndebourne is about 3 miles east of Lewes, in East Sussex. Events in Glyndebourne are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Glyndebourne is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Glyndebourne to Brighton (9 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St Mary's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Close to Glyndebourne are historic houses such as Glyndebourne (less than half a mile north-west) and Glynde Place (0.8 miles south). Historic houses and estates typically have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. With the South Downs National Park within about 3 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer.

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A hired food truck at a summer event in Glyndebourne can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us when you want service to start
